President Vladimir Putin assured Russians in his New Year's Eve speech that the country is overcoming its challenges.
His address, marking 25 years in power, included omissions regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has caused significant casualties.
Putin praised the nation’s military personnel but failed to specify the adversary or the reasons for conflict.
He did not address rising inflation, a pressing concern for many ordinary citizens, nor did he outline a clear vision for Russia's future.
The speech highlighted a contradiction in Putin’s leadership approach: balancing societal mobilization for war with an attempt to maintain normalcy.
